玉米的一个多组学综合网络图谱
2022-12-31 23:06

华中农业大学李林等研究人员合作绘制出玉米的一个多组学综合网络图谱。相关论文于2022年12月29日在线发表在《自然—遗传学》杂志上。

研究人员构建了一个玉米的网络图谱,其包含了整个玉米发育过程中的基因组、转录组、翻译组和蛋白质组网络。该网络图由1400多个功能子网络中的280多万条边组成,并显示了重复基因的广泛网络分化。研究人员应用该图谱来确定了调节开花时间的因素,并确定了富集在八个子网络中的2651个基因。研究人员验证了20个基因的功能,包括18个以前未知的与玉米开花时间有关的基因。
 
此外,研究人员发现了一条涉及组蛋白修饰的开花途径。多组学综合网络图谱说明了分子网络如何连接不同类型的基因和潜在途径的原则,可用于绘制玉米的全基因组功能图,并且也应该适用于广泛的物种。
 
据悉,网络是在全系统范围内揭示基因在表型变化中的功能作用的有力工具。

Abstract: Networks are powerful tools to uncover functional roles of genes in phenotypic variation at a system-wide scale. Here, we constructed a maize network map that contains the genomic, transcriptomic, translatomic and proteomic networks across maize development. This map comprises over 2.8 million edges in more than 1,400 functional subnetworks, demonstrating an extensive network divergence of duplicated genes. We applied this map to identify factors regulating flowering time and identified 2,651 genes enriched in eight subnetworks. We validated the functions of 20 genes, including 18 with previously unknown connections to flowering time in maize. Furthermore, we uncovered a flowering pathway involving histone modification. The multi-omics integrative network map illustrates the principles of how molecular networks connect different types of genes and potential pathways to map a genome-wide functional landscape in maize, which should be applicable in a wide range of species.
